I made a blog post not too long ago about waiting for uBlock Origin Lite to appear in the App Store and within a few hours of making that post it suddenly appeared. I’ve installed it on my Mac, copied the settings over from when I had it installed on Chrome and started using it straight away. One thing to keep it mind is that if you’ve installed it may take a few seconds for it to load but most of the time if you’ve already setup up uBlock Origin Lite then you’re probably not going to be clicking on it straight away once the browser has loaded. Apart from that little quirk I am very happy – tested this newer version (the previous were tested using the TestFlight build) with several websites and it is running perfectly.

So I’ve spent today migrating all my emails from Google Workspace to iCloud, setting up the new domains including subdomains for emails, cancelling the subscription on Pocket Casts, Google Workspace and then doing a bulk delete of YouTube subscriptions on my Gmail account then downloading the YouTube subscriptions from my YouTube account on Google Workspace to the YouTube on my Gmail account. Tomorrow I’ll be getting paid so I’ll get YouTube Premium working on my Gmail account and in the mean time my Apple TV has been configured so that it is now logged into the correct YouTube account.

One weird quirk I noticed is that I signed out of my Messages app then logged in – before I had done that I had manually added the aliases for my custom domain however when I opened up the Mail app the aliases had automatically populated with all the aliases I have. It would be nice if Apple ensured the behaviour was consistent – even a button where one could press to manually synchronise settings would be a good start.
